The document discusses an ESTCP project to demonstrate and validate the use of UV-curable powder coatings on Department of Defense hardware as a replacement for solvent-borne organic coatings. The project aims to utilize UV-curable powders and robotics to coat aircraft components and aerospace ground support equipment. It will evaluate two UV-curable powder coatings and the use of a robot with UV and IR lamps to cure coatings, with the goal of eliminating volatile organic compounds and hazardous air pollutants from the coating process.
